David Harris Poems

Sometimes we sow little treasures
but they fall on stony ground
and there they fail to grow.
While others are sown with impunity
...

I’ve been a truck driver all my life,
and when it’s my time to go,
bury me in a scrap yard,
where all the old trucks go.
...

All that is needed is a single candle,
to show someone the way.
A small light to warm the heart,
with a special glow.
...

I sat in a graveyard
and watched people visit there.
They stood above a grave in silence
and spoke to those buried there.
...

Snow is falling
on the hills and the glens;
it looks like a white Christmas
will be with us again.
...

My Motto,
if you can all it that
is very simple.
Help, Caring, Love and Comfort.
...

Sometimes we travel down empty roads,
roads filled with nothing but despair;
there is no turn off points for happiness,
no turning for joy.
...

Everyone seems so intent on beauty,
but beauty is only skin-deep.
It is what lies beneath the beauty
that everyone, should be looking for.
...

I opened the cupboard door,
and it all came tumbling out.
All the junk I had saved
for that proverbial rainy day.
...

Into the maw of darkness,
the boy racer sped
trying the chase the dreams
that spun around his head.
...
